‘Cabinet know they can’t force No Deal’

ANTI-BREXIT campaigner Gina Miller has claimed the UK Government ‘unequivocally’ accepts that it cannot close down Parliament to force No Deal.

The businesswoman, who last month wrote to Boris Johnson arguing any such move ‘would be an abuse of his powers’ and result in legal action, said she had been reassured Parliament would not be suspended. Mrs Miller previously went to court and won the right for Parliament to give its consent ahead of the triggering of Article 50 to begin the Brexit process.

She told Sky News that the Government accepts that ‘to close down Parliament, to bypass them in terms of Brexit – stopping a No Deal Brexit in particular – is illegal.

‘So without having to go to court they’ve conceded we’ve basically called their bluff.’
